OWAIN FON WILLIAMS says he feels right at home with Inverness because there is nothing to divert his attention away from Caley Thistle's league plight.

The Welsh stopper made a summer switch to the Highlands from Tranmere.

Raised in the remote village of Penygroes in the north-west of Wales, Fon Williams claims his new city - last year voted the happiest place to live in Scotland - reminds him of home.

But he also believes residing in the Ladbrokes Premiership's northern outpost will benefit his on-field prospects because there is little else to focus on other than helping John Hughes' side move up the table.

"As a city, it's a fantastic place to live," said the 28-year-old. "There are no distractions but what more do you want? As footballers you want a clear head. You want to be focused every day on improving.

"So Inverness is great for that. It's a really nice city. No matter where you look it's just beautiful.

"I was brought up in a very similar place myself, so I haven't had to adapt at all because it feels like second nature. It's been easy.

"In terms of the football, it's been great too. Everything is kept tight in the dressing room and I feel we're getting better every day we go along."

Hughes will want his players to concentrate even more of their focus on turning Inverness' fortunes around after a disappointing start to the new campaign.
